When the gam flourished In New

placed on of these clubs on a solid
financial footing. It wa nothing un
common for one of these institutions to
make from $20,000 to 130.000 on one
battle alone. And these contest were
not wide apart, either. They were held
with considerable frequency and Invari

these clubs were controlled by poli

business
Tom Sharkey aald recently that out

The last fight between Jim Jeffries

up ahady encounters.
The clubs are compelled to pay hand
aomely for llcenaea in San Francisco to
hold fights. In New York there was no
such tax. Outside of paying for rent,
light and preliminary bouta the club

Jimmy Britt, California's Aggressive Fighter, Who Will Be the Fa

BRITT'S FOLLOWERS
FULL OF CONFIDENCE
Should Californian Lose to Nel
son There Will Be Many
Tears Shed.
Out on the Pacific coast confidence 1p
Jimmy Britt, California's native son.
Is unshaken, and It la almost certain
that h will go Into the ring to meet,
Battling Nelson on tha night of De
cember 10 a 7 to 6 favorite. Brltt's ad
mirers can not exactly aee Nelson, de
spite his decisive victory over Young
Corbett. and will back J. Kdward for a
killing. From th present out look It
can be predicted that betting on the
fight will be heavy, and th California
faithful will be hard hit If thair pride
fall to bring home the coon skins. Nel
son people are more than content with
having him a long shot in th betting
again, and he will not want for backers.
The fighting Dana will find that Britt
was not made to order for htm, and It la
needleaa to say that he will have th
hardest fight of hi meteoric career.
Hard-hitting, game and aggreaalve.
Britt la well able to force matter, and
the Chicago lad will have need of all
those essentials of the lighting game
he haa shown In putting away those
that are not of the Britt stamp. Both
boys are built along the same lines
physically, and have similar styles of
fighting, though Britt relies much on
that crouch of his that haa attracted
attention to him. The Californian is
handicapped with a hot head and likes
to wade in and put hla man In condi
tion to be sent to the laundry in a
hurry.
The Dane haa shown that he la cool
under lira, and Jimmy would do well to
learn to control hla head while prepar
ing for tha meeting. .

It la practically certain that all the
best American and European drivers will

can hold their own with th foreign fly
era at sprinting and Intermediate dis
tance will be shown. Heretofore they
have been found wanting In the long dis
tance International races, but It is
thought that at distances from one to
100 miles they will prove equally fast

a chance to try their skill against the
French apeeders Berntn, Oabriel and

San Francisco. Dec. If. The magnates
of tha Pacific Coast league convened In
their regular annual meeting last even

league officials were re-elected, with the
exception of vice-president, to whfch
office Judge W. W. McCreedle of Port
land was chosen.
Proposition were received from A
C. Joy, representing Fresno and Ban
Jose, and C H. Williams, representing
Spokane, desiring admission Into the
league. After a formal discussion of
the proposition, the league voted against
Increasing th circuit this aeason.
The double season program was
adopted again for next year. It was
also voted to raise the general admis
sion fee from 15 to $5 oents. which mea
sure was pasaed after a lively discus
sion. Two ladles daya will be on sched
ule in each town every week, and th
fair eex as. usual, will be admitted free
on thoae daya. The board of director
was chosen as follows: Henry Harris,
San Francisco; James F. M or ley, Los
Ang.-lcs. J. Cel. F.wing. Oakland; W.
W. McCreadle, Portland: J. P. Agnew.
Seattle; D. W. Evans. Taeoma. Th last
three are new directors.
The league decided that after June 1
all th club must reduce th number of
player carried to 14 or less.
Several applications for position aa
umpire were received and read by the
president and it waa voted to grant th
president full authority in the selection
and dismissing of officials. J. Ira Davis
Jake Sheridan. Edward J. Rankin, Frank
Pears, Qua Klopf, Jam McDonald, Ar

Jamea F. Morley of Loe Angelea Is
said to have a protest prepared which
he lntenda to introduce at today's see
ion. H wants a tie game played be
tween Tacoma and Los Angeles declared
in favor of the Angela, and on the
ground, clalma tha champlonahlp. Th
sense of the league officials seems to fa
vor Tacoma and it la likely that Morley-
protest will be unheeded, and the pen
nant formally awarded to President
Evan.
Considerable business remains to be
transacted, and it Is probable that the
program will take up today and to
morrow.
FOOTBALL FUMBLES.

from those with authority to apeak, that
the Lewis and Clark fair directors Intend
having a splendid exhibition of athletics'
Of every nature at the centennial next
year. The matter of organization will
be accomplished in a short time and ac
tual "work will be started on th pro
gram or event. Hast in getting the
affair under way Is essential, as It re
quires considerable time for the differ
ent colleges and amateur clubs to train
their men and choose the athletes who
will compete.
It Is quite certain that a big track
meet for all the colleges of the Pactfle
coast will be one of the principal fea
tures. A boat race between Berkeley
and the University of Washington would
attract special interest. Auto racing
would be another feature. The auto
mobile event could be held at Irvlngton
race track, where, if tha turns were
properly banked, high speed could be
maintained. The Portland Hunt club,
too. oould be given a day for their spe
cial exercises. Baseball, of courae, will
be played by the Faclfle Coast league
teams, and special matches will be ar
ranged between the college teams of the
coast. In this respeot Oregon, Wash
ington. Stanford, Berkeley and a num
ber of the other college would ba will
ing to send team. It will be a trifle
early for football matches, hut earlier
training would put the crack elevens of
the northwest In condition for the big
contests.
The Portland Rowing club and the
Oregon Yacht club will be called upon
to have crews compete with the oar
and sail upon the Willamette. Races In
which tne rowing club and yacht club
are represented would surely attract
the greatest Interest.
There Will be lacrosse matches be
tween the star Westminster. Victoria,
Vancouver, Seattle, Tacoma and Port

good taste of lacrosse during this year
